Ric Flair was ready to send a message to Matt Morgan, but would it be the one he hopes to send? Also, Samoa Joe introduced his aide in the video taping scheme against D’Angelo “The Pope” Dinero. This, plus more pieces fell into place for the next big PPV. To top it all off, Karen Angle-Jarrett was ready to tell her side of the story.

By the way, for those of you following Jeff Hardy’s trial, it has been postponed, again. The two sides need more time to figure out if there will be some kind of deal struck. Jeff will likely plead guilty to the charges and the judge will determine the sentence. There is no date yet for the next round of the case.

Comments

Dictionary.com has it as a plural pronoun. However-when it its used in TNA: it seems to be used as a “hollywood” verb. U know the idea of a showcase group that is so “GREAT”-but at last look-they borderline suck.

Like immortal…….and fortune.

I can understand the need to be the wwe. Stamford is no. 1 for a reason. They won the war and they can dictate the peace. It is however orlando’s job to be innovative.

They aren’t. The hardys return is a good thing. The need for more super groups is retarded. It defeats the need for championship contenders and it begs the question of why is there a heavyweight champ when most of his contenders are his allies.

it’s REALLY sad, has TNA writers run out of
ideas THAT quick that they have to recycle
something they used a few months ago? It blows my mind how with ALL the history and
interesting stoylines that have been used in the past, the writers in BOTH WWE and TNA can’t seem to go back any further than a few years and they keep doing the same stories over and again, Nexus splitting into two groups, ANYONE remember the NWO splitting into two groups and now “THEY” are coming, better be afraid, we just did THIS routine
a few months ago for crying out loud. It’s stuff like this that shows why wrestling is on a decline, the writers don’t or CAN’T come
up with anything new and see to have the mindset that hey, let’s do this again, it got good ratings in the past, which isn’t
necessarly bad, but instead of going back a few years(say late 70′s or early 80′s) and using some of those ideas they use things that are current. What would it hurt to TRY some of those older ideas that worked back then? The beauty of using those older story lines is newer wrestling fans MIGHT think
“hey, this is new, I’ll have to turn on next week to see what happens”. As it is now, fans are like”oh well, this happened just last month, I remember how that turned out, I’m NOT interested” It’s real sad that in the past you had the all those great wrestling organizations like AWA,WCW,NWA,WORLD CLASS CHAMPIONSHIP, and others and all the wonderful storylines they had that kept fans turning in week after week and with all THAT history, the writers in charge today can’t seem to remember back more than a year or two.
